For soil insects I use diatomaceous earth on top of the soil as a barrier, it cuts them as they move through it. I bought my diatomaceous earth from an animal feed store, do not use the type meant for pool filters. Mosquito dunks can also be used as a soil drench for fungus gnats. Sierra Natural Sciences also makes a soil drench called SNS-203 for fungus gnats and other soil insects.

Hey Scotty,
Can you get a pic of the bugs? There are a lot of products out there to get rid of pests in the grow. I have the SNS 209 and the SNS 203 formulas (Sierra Natural Science, one of 420's sponsors) for pest control. I'm pretty sure you can find them at a local grow store. Without knowing for sure what kind of bug it is....hard to say.
KingJohnC posts very often to use mycorrhizae on the soil, he says it slices the bugs up as they move through it.
I have some posts with pics of bugs, I'll try to find it and post it to see if you can pick out which one you are seeing. Do they fly? or are they just moving around the soil? I'm thinking maybe thrips....but I'm just guessing.
You might want to check the leaves on your plants too, underside especially to see if you have any attacking the leaves.
Be back with a link in a bit.

Okay at the bottom of this blog post you will see some examples of pests to cannabis, maybe one of them will be what you have:

Canna I think you have the name of what the King uses wrong it is something that start with a D. I have it in my thread let me go look it up but it is something like Demattrius or something. Be right back....
